I can understand why people like this type of Ed Sheeran. It definitely matches the sound he had on his "+" album, and I'll admit, I liked the sound of the album as well.

But if I'm going to say the truth, I prefer "Sing" and Don't" more. For a ballad, I don't think this is really anywhere near his best of this type of song, with "The A Team" and "Drunk" being miles ahead.

Still, I enjoy this for the most part and that's still good.

It has a chance at making #1 if he performs it at the AFL Grand Final this weekend.

3.5*.

EDIT: It didn't take long for me to, I'm not going to say dislike, but not like this song.

It is all a bit too dull and boring for me, and doesn't have repeated listen value for me like his slower songs from "+". I was sick of it after hearing it around 5 times.

Hope it doesn't linger around the charts for too long.

3.5* -> 2.5*.

EDIT 2: This is just painfully boring and uninteresting now.

On "+", these types of songs connected with me because of the interesting lyricism, but this seems like a half-arsed, "I love you now, and I'll love you just as much in the future" effort that I've heard so many times before.

If this were by any other artist, I don't think I would have been so lenient with it, so I think this deserves the same treatment all the others are getting.

Hopefully his next song of this type is a LOT better, because if there's any more of this type of music, I might be off Ed Sheeran altogether.
